Old hydro power station building (impressive engineering feat of the early 19th century) fed by water tunnel drilled through mountain behind. Rebuilt access suspension bridge with original suport towers over river.
Restored building includes museum historical information boards. Free entry.

Well done, a real small museum with information boards, a film and historical equipment. A short visit is worthwhile.
